"We are not..." that kind of relationship.
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Kangyan interrupted her.
"It's okay, you don't need to explain anything to Dad. Dad is a very open-minded person and won't break up a couple. I think that boy treats you quite well. Dad just wants to tell you that if you want to date, go ahead and date openly. If that boy dares to bully you, Dad will be the first to not let him off the hook!"
As he spoke, Bai Kangyan even shook his fist in a serious manner.
Bai Qianmo chuckled. She rarely laughed genuinely, but at this moment, seeing Bai Kangyan's slightly comical actions, she felt incredibly warm inside.
Seeing the smile on Bai Qianmo's face, Bai Kangyan was overjoyed.
I thought about it all night, wavering between stopping it and supporting it for a long time.
Ultimately, he chose the latter. For the first twenty years of his life, he missed the opportunity to accompany Qianmo as she grew up. He hoped that in the second half of his life, he could accompany her as she grew up and witness her happiness.

In a private room of a restaurant
The atmosphere was somewhat tense at that moment.
Cui Jinsheng's face was very ugly. He took a sip of tea from the teacup in front of him, a fierce look between his brows and eyes.
“Old Ma, we’ve been partners for a long time, and I’ve always understood the difficulties you face as a producer. But this time, I want to stick to my point of view: the choice of the fourth female lead should not be changed easily.”
After speaking with Bai Qianmo on the phone that morning, he felt that there was more to the story than met the eye regarding Bai Qianmo's absence from the opening ceremony, so he called Ma Demin.
At that time, Ma Demin was at Jiashang Media, finalizing the procedures with Han Songyan before signing the contract.
Unexpectedly, Han Songyan added an additional clause to the contract terms.
The condition is to replace the fourth female lead!
Ma Demin was completely bewildered and then asked Zhou Mei, whose answer was also ambiguous.
However, her attitude was very firm: Han Songyan would not sign the contract unless the fourth female lead was replaced.
“Old Cui, you should understand my predicament. I’m in a bind now. Han Songyan had clearly agreed before, but who knows what deep-seated hatred Bai Qianmo has against her? She made it clear that if Bai Qianmo joins the crew, she will refuse to act in this drama.”
"Old Cui, although Han Songyan's contract hasn't been signed yet, everyone already knows that she's participating. Also, Han Songyan is investing in the project as an investor, so she has the right to raise objections."
Cui Jin angrily slammed the water glass onto the table, the porcelain glass hitting the surface with a jarring sound.
"Okay, I don't want to make things difficult for you. As long as you can find an actress who is more suitable for Nie Wuxin than Bai Qianmo, I will respect your decision."
"Aren't you just giving me a hard time?" Ma Demin said with a mournful expression.
He also understood that Bai Qianmo was impeccable in every aspect. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, it would be hard to find someone more beautiful than her.
"That's it then. This is the biggest step I've taken." With that, Cui Jinsheng stood up and stormed off.
After Cui Jinsheng left, Ma Demin sat in the private room for a while longer with a sullen face.
He then took out his phone and dialed Zhou Mei's number.
“Zhou Mei, Old Cui is being stubborn, and it might be difficult to negotiate for a while. Talk to Sister Han and see if we can postpone it for another two days. I promise to give you a satisfactory answer in two days.”
After listening to Ma Demin's words, Zhou Mei looked at Han Songyan across from her.
"Okay, I'll talk to her about it."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mei cautiously asked, "Sister Yan, Ma Demin said that Cui Jinsheng insists on keeping Bai Qianmo. What do you think..."
Han Songyan tossed the magazine aside, raised her eyes, and glared coldly at Zhou Mei: "I will stick to my stance. If they dare to use Bai Qianmo, I will not only refuse to sign the contract, but also choose to withdraw my investment. Let Ma Demin think it over himself."
Unlike Cui Jinsheng, Ma Demin is a businessman who prioritizes profit. Between her and Bai Qianmo, Ma Demin would choose her without hesitation.
"Ma Demin means to give you two more days. He guarantees that the problem will be resolved in two days."
Upon hearing these words, Han Songyan's gloomy expression softened somewhat.
"Then give him two days to resolve the issue."
Zhou Mei glanced at her: "Sister Yan, Qianmo is, after all, your daughter. To cut off her entire future like this is a bit too much..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp gaze shot over him.
Zhou Mei immediately shut her mouth.
"I'm jet-lagged, so don't bother me this afternoon if you don't have anything to do."
"Okay, I'll head out now."
After Zhou Mei left, Han Songyan leaned against the sofa, rubbing her throbbing temples.
I originally wanted to mend the mother-daughter relationship with that girl, but I didn't expect her to want to enter the entertainment industry.
He scoffed lightly, "Ha, they really don't know their own limitations!"
Bai Qianmo didn't arrive at the company until the afternoon.
They ran into fellow trainees from the same cohort.
After Su Le'er and the other three girls were taken to the police station, only five boys and Bai Qianmo remained from their batch of trainees.
Because Bai Qianmo appears aloof and cold, making her difficult to approach, they are currently only acquaintances.
Bai Qianmo didn't greet anyone, but a boy walking towards her blocked her way.
"Bai Qianmo, wouldn't you say you tried to steal a chicken but ended up pecking at the rice instead? You thought you'd have no competitors after putting Le'er in that kind of place, but heaven has finally opened its eyes, and you're finally getting your comeuppance." The boy sneered with a mocking expression.
Bai Qianmo looked up at the boy in front of her.
